August 23, 2020 (Pastor Zell) - Matthew 15:21-28 - “When I Have To Wait, Lord, Give Me Great Faith!”

According to the world, great faith is seen in those who dream big and pursue great goals. But since faith is only as strong as what you have faith in, such egocentric faith is only as strong as . . . you. Compare that faith with the trust that relies on God’s mercy and the whatever he provides in life. Contrast worldly faith with what we see in the Canaanite woman. She sees the Messiah, pleads for his mercy, and pursues his blessing. Such faith is great because it rests and relies upon the greatness of God.
